About the Artist: Robin Williamson
Robin explains his design inspiration for K9:
"Each year I go on walking holidays with friends. One of which who used to work with maps seemingly can’t read one, and regularly leads us in the wrong direction. This, however, might be my favourite part of our trips, as we see much more of our surroundings.
This aspect fed into my design, with this sense of being lost in time and embracing our environment. The curved peaks and bright whites of my dog’s tooth reminded me ofold polar explorer photographs.
I used photographs from a recent trip to the Lake District, where I was in awe of a type of landscape I’d never seen before.”
Robin Williamson is a fine artist and college lecturer from Bedford, England. His practice includes handmade interactive sculptures and etching machines that encourage and document audience interaction.
His focus currently is on either portraits or the backs of people’s heads that he realises in a variety of mediums. He is interested in creating work about things that are
disregarded, such as miserable days out and unposed expressions.
He sometimes dabbles in the world of signwriting, with recent commissions including a Luthier’s studio in London and a rug makers shop in Sheffield.
